About the game
Radioactive and highly unstable wonky element cubes have been disturbed. As a member of the hazmat team, players use protocol cards to restabilize the cubes, but beware of toppling because the cubes can cause "side effects." The first player to finish following all of their protocol cards wins! In Wonky: The Unstable Adult Party Game, players each have a hand of cards, and they play a card each turn to stack the unstable colored cubes. Play the card with the cube available and you want to be the first one to clear your hand. The side effects deck has different party rules that happen when a tower has been toppled. Players then do the effects on the cards, adding extra side effects to the gameplay.
